Could be that demand would have exceeded supply had Apple gone with only one type. One of the worst things to happen to a popular product would be a constantly "out of stock" state. It could also be a competitor making a big deal of this in an attempt to turn customers against Apple or trying to play customers against each other.
As I said earlier I can't really see how mine would be faster.I'm in Canada and have the Intel chip apparently. My phone seems lightning fast, so I can't say that it matters to me at all.
To determine if your iPhone has the Intel modem, check the model number, found in small print on the back of your smartphone. The Intel modem is in Model A1778 and Model A1784
It's way easier, if you're from Europe: you get the Intel chip.

I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that some people view change as a disturbance, introducing chaos where there once was order, when they could benefit from viewing change as an adventure or opportunity for exploration. But, then again, "the same old same old" doesn't grab attention as well as drama does.

I'm reminded of a quote: "If you deny a child the satisfaction of a response, they will eventually go on to something else." I feel that we, as humans, could benefit from being more particular about what we give our attention to.
